Topic: Inflammation-based prognostic score
New study about relationship between inflammation and survival:
Inflammation-based prognostic score is a useful predictor of postoperative outcome in patients with extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma
The study mentions Glasgow Prognostic Score (GPS). My understanding is, it's a measure of systemic inflammation in the body. I found a few more studies about GPS:
Significance of the Inflammation-Based Glasgow Prognostic Score for Short- and Long-Term Outcomes After Curative Resection of Gastric Cancer.
The systemic inflammation-based Glasgow Prognostic Score: A decade of experience in patients with cancer.
Low inflammation score ==> better survival
High inflammation score ==> worse survival
